Dr. Topf was very kind, thorough, and I felt he had my best interests in mind. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Topf is the best doctor I have had. He saw my problem and arranged I think 5 doctors to do a major surgery. He done this and operated in a couple of days time. He saw the urgency in my case. He saved my life. He is friendly and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing him. He is monitoring and doing regular scans. He is staying on top of it. He has called me personally several times with results and other needs. I am really thankful for him. I have several doctors at Vanderbilt. I live in Cookeville Tn. Oh also all of the staff I feel great to have them. Can't say enough about my service. Thank you.
